Serial Killer Admits Murder Of 14-Year-Old Boy

A convicted serial killer serving three life sentences has been found guilty of the 1990 murder of a 14-year-old boy.

42-year-old Steven Grieveson confessed to killing Simon Martin, whose semi-naked body was found in a derelict house in Sunderland in 1990.

It is understood that Grieveson accepted that he did kill Simon Martin but claimed the death was accidental.

Grieveson is currently serving three life terms for strangling Thomas Kelly, 18, and David Hanson and David Grieff, both 15.
